Looking at this photo, you might think you\u2019ve stepped onto the set of a cowboy movie: halted trains, men in wide-brimmed hats, and that unmistakable \u201cgold rush\u201d atmosphere. But forget high-speed train robberies or outlaw shootouts! Here, the treasure wasn\u2019t gold nuggets or cash-filled crates\u2026 but sheep!<\/p>\n
In the 1950s and \u201960s, after centuries of traveling on foot, Italian shepherds began using trains to move their flocks from Abruzzo to Puglia. It was a turning point that blended modernity with tradition, proving how transhumance has always found ways to evolve while staying true to its roots.<\/p>\n
In our documentary Le vie della lana<\/em>, we delve into these extraordinary journeys\u2014stories of hard labor, family struggles, and a deep love for an ancient and noble profession.<\/p>\n A special thanks to Edmondo Di Loreto for sharing this incredible photo from his extensive archive on transhumance. As one of the custodians of this fascinating history, he is also one of the protagonists of our film.<\/p>\n This is just a small taste of Italy\u2019s own Wild West<\/em>, a world that dates back over 500 years.
